Replying To Dodgy_Pass:  "Leitrim still at U17 despite all our neighbours either at U18 or reverting.

We were one of the first counties nationally to change and there is an unwillingness bordering on total refusal to even consider going back from top brass.

Hard for clubs to retain the 17 year old going 18 in his first year adult."
I seen list of counties gone to even numbers it has Galway down as both and mayo also but in Galway even number grades are only ticking a box I' reckon only about max 5 counties in whole country have minor at under 17 and in Galway they won't even have a discussion about changing back which in my opinion is a disgrace clubs delegate in Galway no say just do what top table says it's not helping Galway football impossible for clubs get challenge matches outside county as they all 18 year olds

Interesting that they had all the provincial draws on together this evening, appreciate the GAA trying to drum up a bit of hype for the upcoming season but not sure if it really makes sense timing wise to do it in late November. Would prefer to get the official fixture list for the league first!

Very likely we're into another Connacht final. And also quite likely it'll be in Pearse. Hope PJ plays it smart with certain players and has them in prime condition for the May bank holiday weekend.

Replying To FoolsGold:  "Yes I heard its Brady. The father is from Cavan. He wouldn't have to transfer Club under the parentage rule. I think its the midfielder Ciaran Brady. The brother is a forward."
The brother is a Corofin intermediate player.
Ciaran is very good in the air, but has struggled to get into the Corofin team consistently.

He was a Galway panelist in 2024.

Will be interesting to see how he gets on with Cavan.

Hard to see why a Galway/Corofin man would have the desire to play for Cavan, especially given the commute.

Cavan are welcome to him. Fair play to him and best of luck with it some commute

Won't be surprised if the rossies take out Mayo and if they do it will be the first Galway v Roscommon Connacht final in Hyde Park for 8 years.

I'm expecting a big reaction from Galway on and off the field in 2026 after a big underachieving championship season this summer.
